Speech #980109056

It is pure bull feathers. if we may use that expression on the floor of the House. In fact. as I said. the administration testified on the reform measure a total of 28 times. In testimony before our Subcommittee on Immigration in the 97th Congress. Attorney General William French Smith characterized well this administrations position on the Immigration Reform and Control Act. the SimpsonMazzoli bill. He stated: On March 17 Chairman Simpson and Chairman Mazzoli introduced the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1982. That bill is a rational and comprehensive set of reforms in the finest bipartisan tradition of the U.S. Congress.
